Faces of Flint (Part 1)

My beloved one, I have equipped you for fearless pursuit. I Am is with you, filling you, surrounding you, overflowing from you. I am the one before whom the mountains quake, therefore, do not fear the mountains of this world. Instead, speak to them and command them to move. 

I am the one who brings the whirlwind and calms the storms, therefore, allow no storm to unsettle you. Set your face like flint.  Be unwavering as you pursue my plans. Be unyielding to doubt and fear as you follow my direction.

Where the enemy has attempted to unsettle you and hold you back, or even accuse you, renounce his attempts. Draw a line on all that has gone before you and set your face forward. See what I am doing and move fearlessly with me.

Application:

Read Isaiah 50:7 (NIV): “Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced.” Ask Holy Spirit to show you in the Spirit how powerful he is and how you look with him filling you. Linger in the image he shows you, allowing yourself to be immersed in him as you allow your mind to be renewed by what he shows you.

Decree the following scripture over every circumstance or situation of uncertainty: “Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.” As you do this, ask the Holy Spirit where he wants to set your vision, ask him to reveal anything which is a distraction or source of fear. Renounce these and determine with the Holy Spirit what “setting your face like flint” looks like for you. What does fearless pursuit look like?

Psalm 147:5-6 (ESV)

Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground.

Isaiah 50:7 (NIV)

Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.
